Danger of Rail
Strike Passes
Chicago, July 21. Danger of an im
mediate railroad strike apparently had
dissipated when the 2000 representa
tives of the sixteen railway crafts re
sumed their conference here this
morning to consider the $600,000,000
wage increase granted by the railway
labor board yesterday.
There was less dissatisfaction ap
parent over the amount of the award
on the part of the union men and a
desire for a peacable solution of their
problem was manifest.
A factor which many believe may
na,r r nnsirlerable effect if a concerted.
effort is made toward acceptance of
the award was the board's decision to
make the increase retroactive to May
This feature would give me

American defender Resolute - today
won her first race of the 1920 series
for the America's cup. - She must take
two more straight victories to prevent
Shamrock lifting the trophy.
Taking the lead after the start, the
American sloop held, first place on
most of the" first leg, a fifteen mile
beat to windward turned the mark
first, and held almost to the finish
line." Within a' mile of the finish
Shamrock drew alongside, but Reso
lute, granted a time allowance of seven
minutes and one second was safe.
Tad it not been for the time allow
ance, the challenger had to give 8u
would perhaps have won, because she
finished 18 seconds ahead of tlhe de
fender. She crossed the starting line,
however, however, 19 second ahead of
the Resolute and so boat for boat, by
unofficial timing, lost the race by one
second plus the seven minute and one
second she had to give defender.
Shamrock First Away.
Sandy Hook, N. J., July 21. With
two victories to her credit. Shamrock
IV led across the starting line in to
day's race for the America's cup, de
mended by Resolute. ,
The Lipton sloop needs but on6
more victory to lift ,the cup. :
After Bounding the starting signal
at 1 p. m. Shamrock crossed at 1:00:22
and Resolute at 1:04:41 official time,
and- away on the first fifteen mile leg
of their 30 mile -windward and lee
ward course.
Captain Adams of Resolute, made no
effort" to gain the weather berth, and
let Shamrock cross- the line first. Both
yachts crossed on the starboard tack
within fifty yards of one another. Both
tacked a few minute's after the start
and at 1:10 were hauling away for
the Jersey shore."
Cluijlnger Holds Lead.
Resolute . worked out about 100
Yards to windward but Shamrock was
footing faster and was well ahead. It
looked as if Shamrock could cross the
defender's bow,
At 1:30 both boats were still holding
the port tack for the Jersey shore,
with Resolute a quarter of a mile to
windward of Shamrock's wake. Sham
rock had increased her lead to three
eights of a mile.
At 1:40 Shamrock was well ahead
of Resolute and it' seemed as if she
could cross the defenders bow if she
went about on the starboard tack. It
looked as if she would have a margin
of several hundred yards in crossing.
Shamrock, with her Seabright . pilot
aboard, was evidently holding inshore
for a fair breeze. . .
Resolute Handles Stow
Shamrock was ghosting along in
surprising fashion with a small bone
in her teeth as she headed inshore
to catch the breeze that came off the
Jersey shore'. Her crew lay along the
weather rail and JCapfain jBurton
held her close on the edge of the
wind. Far to weather was Resolute
but the defender evidently had been
reached on the long port board In
shore, At 1:50 Shamrock was within
two miles of the shore and seemed to
be coming right- into,, the ; arms of
spectators. She seemed to be getting
a better breeze than Resolute and
to be steadily gaining. On the tack
inshore. Resolute seemed to have
trouble pinching to windward.
At 1:52 Shamrock lacked out to
sea. , '' .
Resolute held onto the port tack
and the two yatchs began to con
verge. Then Resolute managed to
cross Shamrock's bow at 1:65 and
then tacked to starboard,
Resolute Takes Lead
Resolute tacked to port a minute
later but came about and establish
ed herself on Shamrock's weather
port, -
Resolute was leading by 100 yards
As the two sloops stood inshore.
Shamrock again endeavored by foot
ing to fore to reach her rival but
Captain Adams kept Resolute higher
into the wind and ate further out to
weather. Both yachts seemed to lose
speed as they shot under the lee of
shore.
At 1:58 Resolute was leading by
200 yards and' the wind had breeze l
up to six knots.
Postponement Ordered.
Sandy Hook, N. J., July 21. Post

Rail Labor
Wage Case
. Is Closed
Chicago, July 21. The United States
railway labor board today notified a
committee representing the rail bro?
erhood that the wage award case could
not be reopened.
An executive committee of five had
waited on the board to request a rer
hearing in an effort to obtain further
increases for some of the unions dis
satisfied with the award handed down.
G. W. Hanger, a member of the board,
isued the following statement:
"The board has given full consider
ation to matters presented in this case
and promulgated its decision in ac
cordance with the transportation aw.
and cannot reopen the case." ;
Chicago, July 21. A committee of
railroad brotherhoods leaders waited
on the United States rail labor board
this afternoon to request a hearing.
It is understood they will ask for a re
hearing on some sections of the $600,
000,000 award. -
The board was in executive session
and declined to se the union leaders
before 4 o'clock.
"We have nothing to say," said W.
G. Lee, grand president of the Broth
erhood ot Railway Trainmen, when
asked if a rehearing was to be peti
tioned. With Lee were presidents of
several other brotherhoods.

The Oregon Growers' . Cooperative
association has selected -its trade
names. The principal name to be used
is Mlstland. A second name which
will be used on some of its products,

is Firland, and a third name that will

Northwestern fruits are of. superior
auality due to a happy combination oi
soil and climate. In every valley of
Oregon especially in the spring and
fall thin veils and banks of fogs and
mist drift down against the hills. It
is a scene that every Oregonlon is fa-
miliar with. Oregonians are , often
afraid to mention the fact that we have
a litle rain mist ocacaionally. This
mist, however, is one of the greatest
assets of the country west of the Cas
cades and contributes to its. richness,
its arreat output, and the high qualitj
of its fruits. Hence Mistland seems to
be a very appropriate name.
